OPINION:
Do you know how to spot a feminist? I do, and I can spot one a mile away. Here I will share my top tips on spotting a feminist in society. Disclosure: Please note that this is a general way to spot one and is not meant to offend but merely based on my observations as an etiquette expert.
Feminists are uncouth and vulgar.
Feminists often engage in profanity and generally sound like a fisherman’s wife. They shout and use slang when they speak. A feminist will take the Lord’s name in vain such as “Oh, my God!” And “Jesus Christ!” Instead of the proper, polite expression “Goodness me!” and “Oh, gosh!”
Feminists lack good deportment.
Feminists generally walk and sit like a man. Feminists have an angry demeanor and often over-gesticulate, pointing their fingers in an accusing manner and, worse still, finger-wagging, which is universally deemed cringeworthy. They are generally angry people who prefer to frown instead of smile, which reflects in their stern faces.
Feminists have no respect for humanity and constantly degrade women.
Feminists participate in promiscuous sex for pleasure without accountability or thought of consequences. By the same token, they support abortion and say it is health care with no respect or regard for the unborn’s sacred, precious life, which has no voice.
Feminists despise people who have faith and traditional values.
They mock God and believe Christianity is a cult. One word you will not hear or see them use is romance. This is because feminists frown upon a strong gentleman who exhibits a chivalrous demeanor and even have been known to intimidate them with claims of sexual harassment for merely opening the door for them. Feminists advocate and shout for equality, yet feminists believe women are weak and stupid if they choose to be mothers and housewives.
Feminists lack grooming standards.
Feminists prefer to rebel against being a feminine lady and not wear makeup or perfume, even resorting to dreadful hairy armpits. A feminist can be easily spotted in the supermarket with neon-colored hair. Feminists dress sloppily, prefer trousers to a skirt or dress, and are often offended by healthy, beautiful ladies who take care of themselves and advocate, instead, for obese, ugly women to model lingerie and swimwear and bearded, perverted men to advertise lipstick. Feminists don’t care for their skin and health and generally age earlier than ladies who care for themselves.
Feminists are intolerable racists.
Feminists believe conservative people with traditional values are racist dinosaurs and that America is systemically racist. The reality, however, is that feminists are racists because they constantly like to call out the color of the skin instead of the content of one’s character. Martin Luther King Jr. would be turning over in his grave.
Feminists are delusional and lack social skills.
Most feminists believe men are women and women are men. Feminists advocate for men who have a fetish for mistrial as a woman to invade private spaces such as locker rooms where men can expose themselves to women and children. Feminists believe it is fair for men to compete against women in women’s sports. Feminists will have a pronoun instead of a proper honorific title in their email or biography on social media to advocate for trans rights. Feminists believe that pumping hormones, drugs and puberty blockers, which cause irreversible damage such as osteoporosis, into young people is kind and not cruel. Feminists believe the mutilation of one’s body will change their biology and have no respect for our natural, God-given sex.
Remember, it is our faith and common sense that proves masculinity and femininity complement each other because it empowers us so beautifully to always be gracious and confident in our daily lives. Hence, do be proud to be an elegant lady or gentleman, a defining attribute a feminist can never claim to be.
